Abstract: The purpose is to provide a tactile information conversion device, a tactile information conversion method, and a tactile information conversion program, which are usable for general purposes by presenting or sensing an arbitrary tactile feeling. In order to provide tactile information to an output unit capable of outputting physical quantities including electricity, force, temperature, vibration, and/or time and space, at least two or more of the physical quantities are selected according to a tactile feeling to be presented, tactile information for presenting the predetermined tactile feeling is generated based on the physical quantities that have been selected, and the tactile information that has been generated is output to the output unit.

Abstract: A base material is composed of a metal or ceramics, and an aluminum nitride coating is formed on an outermost surface thereof. The aluminum nitride coating is formed by impact sintering and contains fine particles having a particle diameter of 1 ?m or less. A thickness of the aluminum nitride coating is no less than 10 ?m. A film density of the aluminum nitride coating is no less than 90% An area ratio of aluminum nitride particles whose particle boundaries are recognizable existing in a 20 ?m×20 ?m unit area of the aluminum nitride coating is 0% to 90% while an area ratio of aluminum nitride particles whose particle boundaries are unrecognizable is 10% to 100%. Such a component for a plasma apparatus having the aluminum nitride coating can provide a strong resistance to plasma attack and radical attack.
